Hello,
I had allergy testing done about a year ago when my IBS was REALLY bad. The most comprehensive and accurate tests comes from a blood test due to the fact that when your body is allergic to something it makes antibodies to that substance. You can be allergic to anything. The testing I had done was called LRA by ELISA/ACT tests (Lymphocyte Response Assay by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbant Assay with Advanced Cell Test). It sounds (and is) a mouthful...but this type of testing is able to detect your TRUE (sympton-provoking) reactions to substances. They will also detect delayed (hidden) immune responces. It tests about 300 different substances. Very thorough.
It is amazing what you can be allergic to. Sugar (cane), garlic, allspice, chemicals in tap water, etc came up for me. What you try to do is to stay off the substances that you react to so your body can heal itself, then a few months down the line you reintroduce them again. I was only concerned with the ones that gave me stomach trouble.
Here is a web site: www.ELISAACT.com

I hope that helps!
